    Going to be interesting tmw, a resurgent Froome? Bertie showing a little weakness? Purito looking strong? Valverde dropping a bit more? Who’ll be in the breakaway?

    Still all to play for.

    I don’t. I got rid of Sanchez, to put in Sanchez and Coppel. Looks like the peloton isn’t letting a break get away today. D’oh!

    Well I decided not to take a penalty to get Lulu in today, as he is gonna need tomorrows points for KOM as would need to win today to make going in the break worthwhile.

    So my team I hope to put me back on the podium and to close down Enrique

    Froome
    Aru
    Contador
    J-Rod
    Sanchez
    Navarro
    Kudus
    Craven
    Mas

    (oh and if Barguil wins, I will cry)

    My team for today. With the way Caja Rural are riding i’m hoping either Mas or Domagalski go in the break today and you never know Koldo might have got some inspiration from yesterday and actually bothers his backside to do something.

    Christopher Froome
    Koldo Fernandez
    Alberto Contador
    Fabio Aru
    Daniel Navarro
    Joaquin Rodriguez
    Samuel Sanchez
    Karol Domagalski

    I’m hopeless at “guess the breakaway”. 23 riders yesterday and I had none of them. It’ll be a different 23 today and I STILL won’t have any of them. Perhaps this is why I don’t threaten the rarefied upper reaches of the table.

    Stage 15 of the 2012 Vuelta finished here and marked the beginning of the end of Froome’s podium chances. He lost over half a minute to the unholy trinity of Bertie, Alejandro and Purito and after that he just went backwards…

    I’ve kept Valverde. Couldn’t afford Aru and Froome together so not worth the change.

    Yeah, I haven’t had Valverde
    Yeah, I haven’t had Valverde in at all this Tour. Done my transfers, still have Uran and no Froome, if I had 0.1 more I could swap them for a ten-point pen, but I’m hoping Uran might fare better on the climb today. Paddy Power have Froome as favourite for the stage and Uran at 80/1 so they would certainly disagree!

    Replaced Meintjes with an equally unlikely breakaway pick but after three in the top 7 yesterday I’m on a roll so why not?

    Valverde is just too
    Valverde is just too expensive to justify being on the roster when Aru and Martin are out there.

    ive axed Valverde, need to make points up, ive had a terrible week, I could have had the Vuelta in the beg by now, Id still be leading but for two silly un-needed transfers in the first week

    It may have a downhill section, but the last couple of km are uphill, if not slightly steeper than the finish for stage 13.
